  • Women's History Month
    Women’s History Month: “If it isn’t fun, what is it?” contributed by Lizette Royer Barton; to access on WordPress, click here. I asked my colleagues who their favorite women were in our collections. Here are a few of the responses. Processing Archivist Emily Gainer replied with Erika Fromm. Emily processed the Fromm papers a few years ago and you can review the finding aid for the 115-box collection here: Erika Fromm finding aid. Emily told me, “At one point, she [Erika Fromm] had a student harassing/stalking her. Campus admin told her if he called, not to answer. She said she would answer, because that’s what she does – help people.” Erika Fromm (1909-2003) earned her PhD in experimental psychology in 1933 from the University of Frankfurt while studying with Max Wertheimer (Emily processed those papers too); worked as a research associate in clinical psychology in the Department of Psychiatry, Wilhelmina Gasthuis (University Clinics), Amsterdam; established the first psychology laboratory in a Dutch state hospital; fled the damn Nazi’s; and eventually emigrated to Chicago, IL where she established a private psychotherapy practice and became a professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Chicago. Being a foremost expert on hypnosis and hypnoanalysis, Erika Fromm was approached by psychologists in Germany requesting permission to translate some of her work to German. The Erika Fromm papers contain several folders of correspondence with the journal editors and correspondence she received from readers (both positive and negative) regarding her decision not to allow the translation. Instead, she wrote a paper titled, Personal Feelings of a Nazi Refugee: Why I do not Want to be Honored by Germans, which was published in the German journal Hypnose Und Kognition instead of her translated work on hypnoanalysis.

  • The Treatment of Traumatic Memories: Synthesis, Realization, and Integration
    Dissociation, 1993, 6(2/3), 162-180. The Treatment of Traumatic Memories: Synthesis, Realization, and Integration Onno van der Hart, Ph.D., Kathy Steele, R.N., M.N., C.S. Suzette Boon, Ph.D. and Paul Brown, M.D. Acknowledgement: The authors thank Barbara Friedman, M.A., M.F.C.C., for her helpful comments on an earlier draft of this article. Onno van der Hart, Ph.D., is a professor in the Department of Clinical Psychology, Utrecht University, The Netherlands, and a psychologist at the Regional Institute for Ambulatory Mental Health Care Amsterdam South/New West, Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Kathy Steele, R.N., M.N., C.S., is a psychotherapist with the Metropolitan Psychotherapy Associates, Atlanta, Georgia, and is Clinical Administrator of the Post-traumatic Stress and Dissociative Disorders Program at Parkwood Hospital, Atlanta, Georgia. Suzette Boon, Ph.D., is a research fellow in the Department of Psychiatry, Free University, Amsterdam, The Netherlands, and a clinical psychologist at the Regional Institute for Ambulatory Mental Health Care Amsterdam South/New West, Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Paul Brown, M.D., is a psychiatrist at the Northpark Hospital Centre, Bundoora, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. ABSTRACT This paper is based on Pierre Janet's dissociation theory and his concept of the non-realization of a traumatic event. A model of treatment that integrates Janet's dissociation-integration theory with contemporary trauma-based models of therapy is delineated. The nature of traumatic memories is described, and a stage-oriented model for their treatment in patients with multiple personality disorder (MPD) is presented. Ideally a discrete phase in the overall treatment of MPD, this phase can itself be subdivided into the following stages: (1) preparation; (2) synthesis; and (3) realization/integration.
